An imaging system was used to study next-generation #perovskite-CIGSe tandem #SolarCells. By capturing #photoluminescence (PL) and #electroluminescence (EL) images, this system enabled the researchers to visualize defects, track layer performance, and understand degradation processes over an entire year of outdoor testing. This work is helping push the boundaries of high-efficiency, flexible, and durable solar technologies.

Yale Engineering: Turning to trees for sustainable photoluminescence. “Photoluminescent materials are essential for numerous modern technologies – displays, solar cells, optoelectronic devices and sensors among them. However, most photoluminescent materials in use today rely on toxic metals and non-renewable resources. Now a team of Yale researchers led by first author Ho-Yin (Leo) Tse, and […]

The precise addition of a single silver (Ag) #atom can dramatically transform the light-emitting properties of high-nuclear Ag #nanoclusters (NCs). The study reports a remarkable 77-fold increase in #photoluminescence (PL) #quantum yield (QY) at room temperature - a milestone that paves the way for practical applications in #optoelectronics and #sensing technologies.

#Photoluminescence in the Garden #dormouse (Eliomys quercinus)
The garden dormouse (Eliomys quercinus), an endemic #rodent to #Europe, currently categorized as Near Threatened (NT) by the #IUCN. The fluorescence was described and compared qualitatively in museum specimens, deceased and hibernating animals. The feet and nose of the hibernating dormouse displayed greenish-blue photoluminescence under UV light through a yellow filter, whereas the fur was bright red.
